New and Confused (about how I'm feeling)

I joined this because I was searching the web to see if I could find out something about how I'm currently feeling, or lack thereof, and as I have suffered from anxiety/depression before, thought it might have something to do with it.
I'm 20 and have been dealing with depression since the age of 7. The last two years I haven't had any problems. I got a new boyfriend, had a positive outlook on life, new what sort of jobs I wanted, what I needed to do to get there, etc. Last week I went to visit my grandad, and missed my boyfriend a lot. I face timed him each day and called him. Then suddenly it stopped. Not the face timing or anything, but the feelings of love and happiness. I didn't slowly feel less in love or less happy it was just poof, gone.
I'm not unhappy. I'm back now, doing things, or having things happen that should make me feel great or overjoyed, but every time I should feel love or happiness I don't feel anything at all. It's like being a computer with a glitch. File not found. Everything else is normal, I just can't seem to feel these feelings. Has anyone else ever experienced this, or know if it is my depression, or can tell me anything about it at all?

dear SF, I can't tell you how sorry I feel for you, and when this 'poof' happens I firstly doubt the integrity of your b/friend, because being in love just doesn't end without being told something, even as call

It stopped after a few days. Still don't know why though.
And it was straight poof, in the middle of saying something to him actually.
